But if you are looking to create one or just upgrade your current station, I&#8217;ve got you covered! Coffee is something that I am very passionate about (and addicted to), so I have broken down all of the key items you will need to make your coffee station functional and aesthetic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">Check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38aoKm4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon shopping list<\/a> for everything you will need to create a coffee station at home! Or keep reading below for a full breakdown of all the affordable items on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">This post contains affiliate links.

No need to brew a huge pot or multiple cups, just give me my one large steaming cup in the morning and I&#8217;m good. I love the sleek new design of the newest <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37yreur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">single-cup Keurig model<\/a>, and it comes in a few colors to match your kitchen. They also have the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OpFTJ1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mini Keurig<\/a> if you are working with a small space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">Or if you want to get really fancy, this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EuHqsA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"\">Keurig coffeemaker<\/a> can do it all. It can do single cup coffees, lattes, cappuccinos, espresso shots, and it comes with a dishwasher safe milk frother!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">But if you don&#8217;t want to be bothered with making a single cup and prefer to brew a whole pot, this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3v1LzRY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cuisinart coffeemaker<\/a> is the best rated on Amazon for a decent price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">And if you are a more patient person, this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3jUs4Ev\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Electric Kettle with Pour Over Drip Coffee Maker<\/a> is a great affordable option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Now we need a Milk Frother<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">If you want to splurge for an electric milk frother, this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3DOzkuF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Electric Milk Warmer with Touch Screen<\/a> has 5 starts on Amazon and is definitely on my wish list. This <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Op7udi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"\">Electric Milk Steamer Soft Foam Maker<\/a> also has great reviews with a little sleeker design. But the good ol&#8217; fashioned handheld whisk will also work just fine, and this battery powered <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3uZPL4w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Handheld Foam Maker<\/a> is a personal favorite. Plus it comes with a stand to display in your coffee station!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Up next is Coffee Mugs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">Most of us already have a mismatched collection of mugs we have accumulated over the years. But for a more aesthetic coffee station set up, you might want to buy a matching set or mugs that match the design of your kitchen decor. You can&#8217;t go wrong with a classic <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/36wBOBL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">set of white mugs<\/a>, or these <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EuIi0k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multicolor stackable mugs<\/a> are a great space saving option. The clear glass mug look is also really popular right now, and I currently have these <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Lhm3xP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clear mugs<\/a> for hot coffee and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38UmVtG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clear glasses<\/a> for iced coffee in my cart. I love that the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38UmVtG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">glasses<\/a> come with clear straws as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">If you don&#8217;t have the cabinet space or like to display your mugs in your coffee station, I&#8217;ve seen a few cute ideas that would double as decor for your set up. This <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KWTZzo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mug holder tree<\/a> is a cute option for the countertop, or if you have some wall space to work with then this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3jU2v6o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wood organizer rack<\/a> or these <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3kezdzL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hanging wall hooks<\/a> would look great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And the star of the show, The Coffee<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">If you are using a Keurig machine then you know that there are a million different K Cups you can find. What are your favorite roasts or flavors? A fan favorite is the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3jUJErI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Original Donut Shop Regular<\/a>, or my personal favorite is the dark roast <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3vxmE7F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Starbucks Sumatra, 100% Arabica<\/a>. If you like to mix it up, this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EwYPRy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dunkin&#8217; variety pack<\/a> is also a great choice with French vanilla, hazelnut, cinnamon, and caramel flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">If you opt to make a full pot or a pour over, Amazon also has their own brand of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xHt9Yd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Columbian Medium Roast<\/a> ground coffee at a good price that is also eligible for the &#8216;subscribe &amp; save&#8217; discount to keep you stocked. Or the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3JZq5t5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Starbucks ground coffee<\/a> is also available in bulk and auto-ship at a great price!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38aoKm4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazonsbiggestfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Create-a-Coffee-Station-2-683x1024.png?resize=342%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-760\" width=\"342\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycuratedcart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Create-a-Coffee-Station-2.png?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycuratedcart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Create-a-Coffee-Station-2.png?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycuratedcart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Create-a-Coffee-Station-2.png?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycuratedcart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Create-a-Coffee-Station-2.png?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Now for all the Fixins&#8217;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">How do you take your coffee? If you like just cream and sugar, you can get your sugar packets in bulk on Amazon like this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3v1N2aW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sugar in the Raw<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OqeoyX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stevia in the Raw<\/a>. Or if you like to add some flavor, you can stock up on the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MB005t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Torani syrups<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xGq2Qd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sauces<\/a> in bulk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">There are also a lot of &#8216;skinny&#8217; syrup options to save yourself the sugar and calories, like these <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xMtR6N\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salted Caramel<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OptYLj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cinnamon Dulce<\/a> options. For easy pouring you can also add <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EwoxWd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this pump<\/a> to the syrup bottles or fill this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3uYTRK4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">glass dispenser<\/a> with your syrup of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s set up your station!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">It&#8217;s time to put all the elements together with some organization items and decor. First, how do you want to store your coffee? Out in the open like this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3JZqRX1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">K-Cup carousel<\/a> or hidden in this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MlRMh4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">canister<\/a>? For coffee grounds, you will need an airtight canister like this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OC9XBt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stainless steel one<\/a> or this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EyrDcl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">glass set<\/a>. Or if you really want to go crazy and make a statement, you can splurge for this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3JV2pG5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MacKenzie-Childs canister<\/a> that your mom, aunts, and grandma will be jealous of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">To display your sugar packets, I like these simple <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3jUuzXp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">acrylic organizers<\/a>. You can even get <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3vw3hMq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one like this<\/a> that has a small compartment for your coffee stirrers as well. Speaking of stirrers, Amazon has them in bulk in <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Oual4W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wood<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3uYbD02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">plastic<\/a> if you like to leave some out for guests, and I like this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3972s55\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">acrylic holder<\/a> to store them in. Going back to sugar, if you like to use loose sugar instead of packets then these <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3rHgL6V\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">small white<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3vz4Adu\">clear glass<\/a> sugar bowl and spoon sets would be a cute addition to your coffee set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">And the last element &#8211; spoons! Some adorable <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/387YzfR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coffee stir spoons<\/a> are a nice touch. Or if you are like me and struggle with portion control when it comes to coffee creamer, I like to keep a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Ex1cUs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">measuring tablespoon<\/a> handy to make sure I am sticking with just ONE serving. My goal is to thrift a vintage tablespoon for my own coffee station!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And to tie it all together<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">To set up all your coffee accessories neatly at your station, I like to use a serving tray to keep things contained and make for easy cleanup or rearranging. A simple <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3ExciJ8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wooden tray<\/a> would look great in any kitchen with light or white counters and backsplash. You can play around with the look by going with different shapes like this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3vxlol1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">octagonal wooden tray<\/a>, or different wood tones like this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3L0UtET\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">light wood tray with gold handles.<\/a> If wood isn&#8217;t quite your vibe, you can also go with a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3keCfE9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clear acrylic tray<\/a> or round <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EuLR6I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">white tray<\/a> with gold accents. Go with whatever matches your other kitchen decor best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">And the finishing touches, throw up a cute &#8216;coffee&#8217; sign <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xBreEG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on the wall<\/a> or on <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3k02o9v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the counter<\/a> and add in a small <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3rHm2vg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"\">faux plant<\/a> for some greenery and you are done. Play around with the placement of all your items until the layout feels perfect for your space!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38aoKm4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/amazonsbiggestfan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Create-a-Coffee-Station-3-576x1024.png?resize=288%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-761\" width=\"288\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycuratedcart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Create-a-Coffee-Station-3.png?resize=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycuratedcart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Create-a-Coffee-Station-3.png?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycuratedcart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Create-a-Coffee-Station-3.png?resize=768%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycuratedcart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Create-a-Coffee-Station-3.png?resize=864%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 864w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycuratedcart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Create-a-Coffee-Station-3.png?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">Let me know in the comments or tag me on Pinterest or Instagram if you use any of these tips or items to make your own coffee station!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:italic;font-weight:700\">xo, KT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are a coffee fanatic then you probably already have a set up in your kitchen.
